A Interval Timer Photography
Interval timer photography can not be combined with long time-exposures (bulb
photography, 0 79) or live view (0 49) or time-lapse (0 168) photography and is not
available in movie live view (0 57) or when Record movies is selected for Custom Setting g4
(Assign shutter button, 0 248).
A Release Mode
Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera will take the specified number of shots
at each interval.
Photographs will be taken at up to 6 shots per second in CH (continuous
high-speed mode) or at up to 3 shots per second in M mode.
In S (single frame) and CL
(continuous low-speed) modes, photographs will be taken at the rate chosen for Custom
Setting d5 (CL mode shooting speed, 0 229). In modes J and M, camera noise will be
reduced.
A Bracketing
Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography.
If exposure, flash, or
ADL bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take
the number of shots in the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number of
shots specified in the interval timer menu.
If white balance bracketing is active while interval
timer photography is in effect, the camera will take one shot at each interval and process it
to create the number of copies specified in the bracketing program.
A During Shooting
During interval timer photography, the Q icon in the control panel
will flash.
Immediately before the next shooting interval begins, the
shutter speed display will show the number of intervals remaining,
and the aperture display will show the number of shots remaining in
the current interval.
At other times, the number of intervals
remaining and the number of shots in each interval can be viewed by pressing the shutter-
release button halfway (once the button is released, the shutter speed and aperture will be
displayed until the standby timer expires).
To view current interval timer settings, select Interval timer
shooting between shots.
While interval timer photography is in
progress, the interval timer menu will show the starting time, the
shooting interval, and the number of intervals and shots remaining.
None of these items can be changed while interval timer
photography is in progress.
Pictures can be played back and shooting and menu settings can be adjusted freely while
interval timer photography is in progress. The monitor will turn off automatically about four
seconds before each interval.
